  1. Why is Mrs. Chizenga not using the Corn cobs, floating around her feets, as fuel as well?
    We have been using Corn cobs in the gasifier unit Peko Pe with a great success.
    In a combustion chamber of 6 L (one gallon) , they where burning for half an hour and afterwords put into a Mbawula (Zambia), glowing for another 45 mins.
    No need for processing, just cut into two or three pieces to fit into the combustion chamber.

    1. There are many stoves and many fuels on the market, giving many different results. We always try to think of different solutions for a particular environment and use whatever fits the most. Thank you for your suggestion, I’m sure it works well yes

    1. Hi Marcel, briquettes are made of different materials, pretty much anything that can burn cleanly, like grass, leaves, dung and other agricultural residues, paper, sawdust etc. You can find everything you need to know from our friends at Legacy Found dot org. What kind of materials do you have available in your environment?
